 Our first destination in Malaysia was a small quaint town called Ipoh surrounded by limestone cliffs and lush greenery. Situated 200 kilometers to the north of Kuala Lumpur, it was Malaysia’s second city during British rule and the center of world tin industry. The city is quite famous for heritage, food and beautiful cave temples. On our very first day, we took the Heritage Trail ( more about this in the next post ) and a new addition to the Heritage trail is the “Art of Old Town Ipoh“, a walking tour hunting murals.

 The old town walls have been changed into a piece of art by many different artists from all over the country and budding artists from the town, quite famous among them is Lithuania-born artist Ernest Zacharevic who has also painted murals on walls along the streets of Penang’s Georgetown.

 Thinking about same, let me tell you, A mural is a piece of artwork which is painted or applied directly on a wall or other surface, incorporating it harmoniously with the architecture or other fixtures perfectly blending with surrounding objects to give a 3D effect.
